[AlpacaTalk] First things First Re: need to have fiber processed, need suggestions
If you want a Quality finished product then: Before you send any fiber to get it processed You Have GOT TO SKIRT IT.
I have herd too many people blame the processor for "ruining" their "beautiful fleece", when the truth was they had sent in a fleece that did not have it's Prime separated from it's Seconds and that included all the nasty clean-up second cuts and that still had all of the field debris in it.
Take the time to properly skirt your fleece and you will have the thrill of a lifetime when you get your finished product back.
Talk to a breeder in your area who has won a few Ribbons at Fleece Shows explain what you need to learn and I have no doubt you will get an excellent tutorial.
Best of luck - been there done that.
Still am doing my own skirting and boy it can be a dirty job but SO worth it.
